NF EN ISO 16000-9, X43-404-9 (03/2024)

This document specifies a general laboratory test method for the determination of the specific emission rate per unit area of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from samples of newly manufactured construction products or objects of equipment, under defined climatic conditions. In principle, the method can also be applied to old product samples. The resulting emissions data can be used to calculate concentrations in a model room (see Table B.1). This document is applicable to different emission test chambers used for the determination of VOC emissions from construction products or objects of equipment. This document is also applicable to samples of wood-based panels and other construction products to determine the formaldehyde emission rate. NOTE In principle, this document can be applied to the study of gas emissions from samples of construction products and equipment objects.
